The Basics of Our Process
- Start by completing our short online submission form or discussing your loan scenario with a GCMAC representative.
- If GCMAC is interested in your request you will be asked to complete our Real Estate Information Form.
- GCMAC will issue a Commitment Letter, Good Faith Estimate and Escrow Analysis worksheet.
(Commitment Letter will summarize what GCMAC needs to approve the loan based on the information we have at that time).
- BPO** Fee paid to GCMAC (required for real estate broker’s price opinion on property) and signed Commitment Letter, Good Faith Estimate and Escrow Analysis are returned to GCMAC.
- GCMAC will make a site inspection and have face-to-face meeting with borrower.
- GCMAC orders BPO, Title Commitment, and Survey (if required).
- Upon receipt from borrower, GCMAC submits borrower’s entity docs to our attorney for review and approval (all loans with GCMAC must close in an Entity-such as an LLC, LTD, Inc., etc. with a personal guarantee from borrowers).
- Once GCMAC receives an updated and clean Title Commitment, we will order our closing documents and closing will be scheduled.
While GCMAC has closed loans in as little as 3 days, the typical loan takes about 2-3 weeks to close. The quicker we get everything we need, the quicker a loan can fund.
**A note about our BPO (Broker's Price Opinions): Our real estate broker's price opinions are based on "as-is" quick-sale market values. GCMAC does NOT lend on after-repaired or completed value. We want to know what a property could sell for at the time of the loan if it was put on the market with a short 60-day or less marketing time. Tax assessments and traditional appraisals do tend to be higher than our valuations, but they also allow for longer marketing times.
